Mine does 250 km ( that''s about 170-180 miles ) on a full tank .......

Don't know the stage of tune you've got but for a standard one that sound quite alright .

300 miles to a tankful!!

Fook me. I have been getting 150-180 miles to a tankful for the last couple of years. Since moving forward with the management a little and one-or-two other issue's on the car, I am now getting close to 200 miles, which is a luxury!!
